Chapter 328: No Useless Anomalies, Only Useless People (Part 2)
"Ahahaha!"
The moment they were chased out of the cemetery, the red-haired director, her face flushed with embarrassment, couldn't help but burst into laughter, slapping Lyon's back vigorously as she laughed.
"Oh my! This is hilarious! When Third-Generation Elder was watching you forge, he looked like you were cooking shit in his pot. His face turned green!"
"..."
"Ahahaha, I can't take it anymore! Oh, I'm dying of laughter!"
Leaning on Lyon's shoulder, the red-haired director, who had been holding back her laughter, half-leaned on him, stretching her face to imitate the Square Head Elder's expression while trying to suppress her laughter.
"That Third-Generation Elder... he's not a bad person, but his mouth is so annoying! The Bull Director is such a good person, but every time he sees her, his first words are always asking when she's going to die. I've been wanting to teach him a lesson! Ahahaha!"
After sharing her little grudge with the Square Head Elder, the red-haired director laughed and said, "Lyon! Do you know what he said to me before you came back? He said he looked down on modern Forgers, thinking they focus too much on the process and are a bunch of hopeless trash."
"But when it came to teaching you, he wished he could stand behind you and guide your hands step by step. Every time your hand trembled, his face would twitch along with it..."
"Oh, I can't take it anymore! I'm dying of laughter!"
"..."
If Lyon were merely an observer, he would probably have joined in the laughter. But as the one who was 'cooking shit' in the joke, he couldn't quite bring himself to laugh.
Looking at the red-haired director, who was laughing so hard she was leaning most of her body on him, Lyon couldn't help but feel helpless. "Director, I can't walk like this. We've been chased out for half a day, and we haven't even walked ten meters yet..."
"Okay, okay, I'll... ha-ha... I'll try to hold it in!"
The red-haired director finally managed to suppress her laughter by biting her lip. She then hummed and said, "Actually, you've probably been holding it in for a while too. Ask whatever you want!"
"Then I'll ask... were you doing all that on purpose just now?"
"Yes, but not entirely~"
The red-haired director smiled and said, "I brought you here to ask him to make a new main anomaly for you and guide you in your Forging Secret Art. At most, I'd get him to give up a few good materials.
You saw how many things he had hidden. Because they've been buried for too long, many materials have lost their power. It's better to use them for your anomaly than let him keep them until they're useless."
"But... I didn't create anything..."
Lyon's lips twitched as he recalled the items he had forged. He sighed and said, "It's better for those materials to stay buried in his coffin than be wasted by me."
"That's not necessarily true."
The red-haired director shook her head and said with a smile, "Don't you remember? Besides the Desire Dream Intruder, the Third-Generation Prefect also made another anomaly for you. Do you want to see it before deciding?"
Another anomaly? The black snake skin scroll? Could its ability change the items I created? But how do you know about it? Lyon was surprised by the director's words. "Director, do you understand Forging? Can you tell the purpose of that snake skin scroll?"
"I don't understand Forging, but I understand luck.
"The Red-haired Director smiled and said, 'Today is my birthday. On their birthday, every cleaner receives a blessing from the Starry Lord, granting them incredible luck, as if their wishes come true. As long as the wish isn't completely impossible, there's a chance it will come true.'
She continued, 'So far today, I've made two wishes. The second wish was to help you obtain the most suitable Anomaly. My intuition tells me that this snake skin scroll is the perfect fit for you.'
Birthday wishes?
Upon hearing the Red-haired Director's words, Lyon couldn't help but pause.
Last year, on his birthday, he had unknowingly triggered this blessing, but according to the Black Goat's explanation, this blessing also came with a curse. After the good luck, misfortune would follow, and with each wish fulfilled, a price would be paid.
This precious wish, available only once a year and with a cost, was used to help him acquire an Anomaly? How could he ever repay this favor?
'Thank you...'
Looking at the graceful lady with a beaming smile before him, Lyon's eyes filled with gratitude.
'Director, I...'
'No need for thanks. Just help me fulfill my first wish later,' the Red-haired Director interrupted with a smile.
After securing Lyon's promise, the Red-haired Director urged with a mischievous smile, 'Go on, touch that snake skin scroll. I'm so curious to see what abilities the most suitable Anomaly for you will have.'
'Alright!'
At her words, Lyon nodded and took out the black snake skin scroll. He carefully caressed it, treating it with utmost care.
...
[Name: Unfair Serpent Pact (Trade, Contract)]
[Appearance: A smooth black snake skin scroll that, when unfurled, reveals a black contract that can be repeatedly written and recorded on.]
[Ability: Equivalent Exchange, Forced Contract]
[Cost: Cannot be signed using conventional methods. Requires a significant amount of the user's blood to leave a mark on the contract.]
[File: Forged by the Anomaly "Smithing Spirit" itself, using the black snake tail material generated from the Wealth Goddess's mutation after swallowing a snake spirit. It contains the special ability "All Things Exchangeable" and a portion of the Wealth Goddess's "Contract" ability.
When the user signs their name and the target's name on the "Unfair Serpent Pact" using their blood as a medium, a one-sided trade contract is forcibly established, allowing for a fair exchange of the target's current possessions.]
[Evaluation: Please do not use your ability to obtain information about the target's Anomaly. Do not write down your findings as a forced trade target. And most importantly, do not use your meticulously crafted, high-value garbage to forcibly trade for the target's precious core Anomaly.
Such tactics are truly despicable, and even if you win the battle, you won't find joy in it!]
[Imbued Value: 59 (6.5)]
"Hiss..."
After reading the description of the Unfair Serpent Pact and understanding the abilities of this "perfect fit" Anomaly, Lyon couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Just by touching the enemy's Anomaly and writing it on the Unfair Serpent Pact, he could force an equivalent exchange?
So, after the opponent loses their core Anomaly, the new Anomaly they receive in return can make their right foot more attractive, help them choose a fashionable devilish name, grow a stylish wolf fur collar, transform their voice into a sexy bass, reveal what they ate for lunch, or even provide bowel relief?
Despicable! Utterly despicable!
